Separate Agency Guidance is available on the general provisions of QUID. Every effort has been made to ensure that these guidance notes are as helpful as possible. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of individual businesses to ensure their compliance with the law. Businesses with specific queries may wish to seek the advice of their local enforcement agency, which will be the Trading Standards Department at the Local Authority. Legislation in the devolved assemblies Following the process of devolution, food legislation is now commonly made on a separate basis in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. This is the case with the FLR, and MPR; there are four sets of each Regulation. Therefore the England Regulations apply only in England, the Scotland Regulations apply only in Scotland, and so on. However, the four sets of each Regulation differ only in the powers under which they are made, and the food authorities given responsibility for enforcement. The provisions relating to the composition and labelling of meat products will be similar in each of the four sets of Regulations. 5 SECTION 1 – THE EUROPEAN DEFINITION OF MEAT 1. What is the European definition of meat? Commission Directive 2001/101/EC was agreed in July 2001 and published in November 20011. It amends the Food Labelling Directive (2000/13/EC), and introduces a European generic definition of meat for the purposes of labelling. The definition puts meat ingredient declarations in meat products on the same basis throughout the European Union, and hence provides consumers with consistent and more transparent information. The Annex to the Directive (which provides the definition itself) is reproduced in Annex A to this Guidance. The new definition: § Restricts the generic term “meat” (as well as species names such as “beef”, “pork”, “chicken” etc.) to skeletal muscle with naturally included or adherent fat and connective tissue; § Introduces maximum numerical limits for associated fat and connective tissue, depending on the species of the meat. Any fat or connective tissue in excess of these limits cannot be counted towards the meat content and must be declared separately in the ingredients list (although a QUID declaration will not be required for this fat and connective tissue); § Excludes mechanically recovered meat (MRM), which must already be declared separately in the ingredients list. MRM may not be counted towards the “meat” content; and § Requires other parts of the carcase such as liver, kidney, heart etc to be labelled as such. The generic term “offal” may not be used. In addition, these parts of the carcase may not be counted towards the QUID declaration for any meat ingredient. 2. What are the percentage limits on fat and connective tissue? Species % Fat % Connective Tissue Pork 30 25 Birds and rabbits 15 10 All other red meats and mixtures 25 25 3. How is the new definition different from that previously in force in the UK? 1 OJ Reference L310, 28.11.01, p.19 6 The UK had a legal definition of meat. The definition was contained in the Meat Products and Spreadable Fish Products Regulations 1984 (MPSFPR) (replaced by the new Meat Products Regulations 2003). The MPSFPR were national provisions, and did not implement any European legislation. Meat was defined in the MPSFPR as “flesh including fat and skin, rind, gristle and sinew in amounts naturally associated with the flesh used”. Other parts of the carcase were also counted as meat. There were specific limits for fat in meat products based on a minimum lean meat content, which was defined as “lean meat free when raw of visible fat”. However, no limits were applied to skin or connective tissue other than through the requirement that they were “in amounts naturally associated”. § The European definition differs therefore by basing the definition only on skeletal muscle. As a result, certain parts of the carcase can no longer be regarded as meat (e.g., heart, tongue, liver, kidney, head meat etc.) § There are specific percentage limits on the amount of fat and collagen that may be counted, along with the skeletal muscle, as meat. 4. How will the European definition be implemented, and how will it work in practice? Implementation of the European definition is in two distinct parts, and is achieved by two separate Statutory Instruments (SI): (i) The Food Labelling (Amendment) Regulations 2003 These Regulations amend the FLR to implement the new definition, which now appears in Schedule 6. There are three effects of this amendment: § Where the word “meat” (or words such as “beef”, “pork”, “lamb”, “chicken” etc.) is used in a product’s list of ingredients, the ingredient in question must be “meat” within the meaning of the new definition. § Where a QUID declaration is given for an ingredient described in this way, the quantity declared must be calculated in terms of the new definition, and must therefore take account of the limits for fat and connective tissue. § Where an ingredient described in this way contains fat or connective tissue in excess of the limits in the definition, this excess must be declared separately in the product’s list of ingredients. (ii) The Meat Products Regulations 2003 These Regulations revoke and replace the Meat Products and Spreadable Fish Products Regulations 1984 (MPSFPR). The new Regulations carry forward some of the national provisions of the MPSFPR, while bringing them 7 in line with the new definition. The principal changes of the new Regulations are that: § The minima for the amount of meat products must contain in order to be described by the reserved descriptions are now expressed in terms of the new definition.

  • The Chemistry of Beef Flavor - Executive Summary Prepared for the National Cattlemen’S Beef Association M
    ® Funded by the Beef Checkoff The Chemistry of Beef Flavor - Executive Summary Prepared for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association M. Susan Brewer, Ph.D., Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition, University of Illinois, December, 2006 The beef industry is continually working to satisfy consumer expectations for dependable, high quality beef products at a reasonable cost to producer, packer, processor and retailer. Flavor and tenderness are the sensory traits that affect consumer acceptance of beef the most; therefore, it is vital that both traditional and new beef systems assure consistently tender products with acceptable flavor. — Kerth et al., 1995 between some of the more common volatiles in beef and “Flavor” results from the combination their respective flavors is shown in Table 1. Beef flavor, which of basic tastes (sweet, sour, bitter, salt and umami) derived develops when heat is applied, depends on the amounts from water-soluble compounds and odor derived from a and proportions of precursor compounds present. Meat is myriad of substances present in the food product from the composed of water, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, minerals onset or derived via various reactions. The flavors and aromas and vitamins. Of these, proteins, lipids and carbohydrates associated with beef are generally those that develop during play primary roles in flavor development because they include heating. When water-soluble substances derived from precursor numerous compounds which are capable of developing into compounds dissolve in the saliva, they bind to the taste buds important flavor precursors when heated (Spanier and Miller, and stimulate a response that is perceived in the brain.

  • Meat and Muscle Biology™ Introduction
    Published September 7, 2017 Meat and Muscle Biology™ Light Source Influences Color Stability and Lipid Oxidation in Steaks from Low Color Stability Beef Triceps brachii Muscle Jade V. Cooper1, Surendranath P. Suman2, Bryon R. Wiegand1, Leon Schumacher3, and Carol L. Lorenzen1* 1Division of Animal Sciences, University of Missouri, Columbia, MO 65211, USA 2Department of Animal and Food Sciences, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40546, USA 3Department of Agricultural Systems Management, University of Missouri, Columbia, MO 65211, USA *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] (C. L. Lorenzen) Abstract: Color of retail fresh meat is one of the most important quality attributes affecting purchasing decisions for con- sumers. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of different light sources on surface color and lipid oxidation during retail display of fresh steaks from beef Triceps brachii (TB), a muscle with low color and lipid oxidative stabilities. Steaks (n = 12) from 20 TB muscles were overwrapped with oxygen-permeable polyvinyl chloride, and assigned to one of three lighting treatments, i.e., high UV fluorescent (HFLO), low UV fluorescent (FLO), and light emitting diode (LED), in temperature-controlled deli cases. Steaks were removed on retail display d 1, 3, 5, and 7 for evaluating instrumental color (L*, a*, and b* values), surface myoglobin redox forms, metmyoglobin reducing ability, and lipid oxidation. Surface redness (a* values) of TB steaks decreased (P < 0.05) during retail display. Light source influenceda * values, with HFLO-displayed steaks having higher (P < 0.05) a* values than steaks exposed to both FLO and LED light sources. Oxymyoglobin levels were higher (P < 0.05) for TB steaks displayed under HFLO lights than those displayed under FLO (on d 3 and 7) or LED (on d 5 and 7) lights.

  • Meat and Muscle Biology™
    Meat and Muscle Biology™ Processing Characteristics, Composition, Shelf-life, and Sensory Attributes of Beef Bacon Manufactured From Seven Value-Added Cuts of Beef Sebastian Chalupa-Krebzdak and Benjamin M. Bohrer* Department of Food Science, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada, N1G 2W1 *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] (Benjamin M. Bohrer) Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of different beef cuts on their potential for adding value by assessing processing characteristics, composition, shelf-life, and sensory attributes of these cuts as beef bacon. Six briskets (Institutional Meat Purchase Specification [IMPS]#120), 6 clod hearts (IMPS#114E; divided horizontally into 2 halves: silver-skin side and non–silver-skin side), 6 flanks (IMPS#193), 6 outside flats (IMPS#171B), and 7 short plates (IMPS#121A; cut into a deboned short-rib half and navel half) were sourced commercially from separate Canadian qual- ity grade AA beef carcasses. Data for processing yields, composition, and image analysis were analyzed as a generalized linear mixed model with fixed effect of cut and random effect of replication nested within block (processing group). Sensory data collected using a trained sensory panel were analyzed in the same manner, with an additional fixed effect of storage day and additional random effects of session and panelist. Rested pump uptake, which was targeted at 20%, was not different (P = 0.21) among cuts; however, smokehouse cook yield differed (P < 0.01) among cuts, with heavier cuts (brisket, plate cuts, and outside flat) generally having greater yields compared with lighter cuts (clod cuts and flank). As expected, composition of bacon slices was affected (P < 0.01) by cut, with leaner cuts (clod cuts, flank, and outside flat) having greater moisture, lower lipid levels, and greater protein compared with fatter cuts (brisket and plate cuts).
